GT4 Zed Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Shell helix 5w30 professional oil. 58% discount from £44 to 19quid for 5L. If it's good enough for a Ferrari its good enough for a zed. I've been using the shell 10w40 for over a year and pleased with it. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/engine-oils-and-car-fluids/engineoils/5w30-engine-oil/?521772611&0&cc5_247&utm_source=bm23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Image+-+Shell+Helix+Ultra+Professional+AF+5W-30+5Ltr&utm_content=58%25+Off+Shell+Engine+Oil+%2B+10%25+Off+All+Wiper+Blades+Today+Only&utm_campaign=February09+-+Deal+of+the+Day+(Oil+%2B+Wiper)&_bta_tid=3.AIdk.Ckikaw.E3Tn.Arfgdg..A3BpzA.b..s.AhM6.n...1cwrQQ 3 Quote

Ekona Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 The manufacturer-specific branding isn't really relevant these days IMHO, since most oil is of a sufficiently decent quality that pretty much anything will do*. Put it this way, I'd rather a correct spec weighting and a decent brand over any random set of specific numbers printed on the back. Please note, I do not classify that ****-thin Magnatec as a motor oil. Suitable for water colour painting, maybe. Quote
